    TV-One has the last season episodes on now, its just weird to see where this show came from to this last season iteration. The changes were immediate and abit drastic. Joey was clearly getting too old. Also for some odd reason they turned Nell into a real moron. Like initially she was always right just abit abrasive, but in the final season they made her a well meaning dummy. That just isnt her character at all.

      They should never have moved the show to NYC. Like there aren't enough sitcoms that take place there? Anyway, the final season no longer had the Chief, Simpson, the daughters, just Nell, Addy, Joey, and Grandpa, with new characters. It wasn't the same and the one hour Sam Goes to College should've been the series finale.

        Well, they had Addy accept a teaching position in New York and Nell decided to go with her, taking Joey with her. I think they just decided to change the show and since the girls were all grown up anyway, it wasn't a problem. Katie moved to San Fransico to work as a buyer, Julie, Jonathan and their daugther moved to a place off campus, and Sam went to college in Jersey.

          I just discovered this series a couple of months ago and I agree, the only good thing about the last season was Nell's mom.

            Interestingly, Rosie O'Donnell does a handful of episodes in the last season as Nell & Addy's neighbor. But yes, even she is upstaged by Rosetta LaNoire as Nell's mom.
            In fact, I was thinking the writers were going to eventually pair up Grandpa with Nell's mom. But I guess an interracial romance between elderly folks was something a wholesome 80s sitcom could not bring itself to do.

              Speaking of Rosie, I'm watching season 6 right now where she just introduced her character to Nell and the boys in Episode 13. But I just saw her in earlier episodes of season 6like episode 12 and a few others. Why was this filmed out of sync?

                Are you sure about this? It could be that the episodes aired were not the order they shot them in. In fact, on this board there is a subject of the taping dates for the episodes. You will see that the order of the shows when they taped them doesn't match the same order they aired in. For example, the next to last episode of the final season was actually filmed very early in the season.

                  Funny thing: Rosetta Lenoire, who played Nell's mother, died a year before Nell Carter did.

                    Another reason why they changed the show was that NBC didn't want to a show about a black housekeeper on the same network as the Cosby Show.

                      Funny thing about Cosby Show. It premiered in Gimme A Break's old time slot.
